Then I got this idea in my head that magazines were like a gallery and if you got your magazine page ripped out and someone stuck it on their refrigerator, then that was a museum – someone’s private museum.

If you want reality take the bus.
David LaChapelle
I am not God. But I can only do my role here on this planet. The role I feel I was given since I was a kid was to be making art and I only wanted to give and I never let money be my God.
David LaChapelle
I never wanted to be famous. I always wanted to take famous photographs.
David LaChapelle
I love when people write about something, I learn what I'm doing through the eyes of a good critic, positive or negative. It's still a learning experience.

Michael [Jackson] had paintings of himself at Neverland depicting himself as a knight and surrounded by cherubs and angels. People might think he's an egomaniac, but he's not. It's because the world turned against him.

As an artist you have a choice. You can add more confusion and darkness to the world or you can shine a light, make a beauty.
David LaChapelle
My biggest advice would be to take the pictures you want to take. Don’t think about the marketplace, what sells or what an editor might say. And don’t think about style. It’s all bullshit and surface stuff. Style happens.

I like the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas more than the actual one.
David LaChapelle
My pictures are about getting as far away from reality as possible. Dreams should be part of our everyday life.
David LaChapelle
I like the consistency of having people in my life for a long time.
David LaChapelle
You can't change people's minds, we are not God. We can do our best to do what we do, whatever job we have to bring sort of goodness out there. But we can't change people. As an artist what I can do is to communicate!
David LaChapelle
There are going to be people doing the talking and people who get talked about, choose, which one do you want to be?
David LaChapelle
There is nothing ugly in sexuality or in the body. It's human!
David LaChapelle
I have no interest in being famous. I just want to make famous photographs.
David LaChapelle
My work is about making candy for the eyes. It's about grabbing your attention.

I love fashion, beauty, glamour. It's the mark of civilisation.
David LaChapelle
For me, it's easier to like more things than to dislike them I'm not a critic in that sense. I find it easier to like more, to be more open and enjoy more things, which has given me more opportunities.
David LaChapelle
What's shocking is cruelty and torture, and that's become our entertainment. Kids can play violent video games, but God forbid they look at a naked woman. That's pornography, that's perverse. No!
